Re: Can't update package index

That stupid PGP stuff, which never really worked properly for most people (and Steve Youngs who put it in has since removed it from SXEmacs). Set this variable to nil and be happy, I think: `package-get-require-signed-base-updates' is a variable declared in Lisp. Value: t Documentation: *If non-nil, try to verify the package index database via PGP. If nil, no PGP verification is done. If the package index database entries are not PGP signed and this variable is non-nil, require user confirmation to continue with the package-get procedure. The default for this variable is the return value of `package-get-pgp-available-p', non-nil if both the "Mailcrypt" package and a suitable PGP executable are available, nil otherwise.
